In The Evil Day is a stand alone international thriller by Australian author Peter Temple that transgresses much of the globe, including South Africa, England, Wales and Germany. There are two main characters that the text oscillates between. John Anselm is a former war correspondent who is suffering from his near death experience as a tortured hostage in Beirut. Suffering post-war stress and probably alcoholism, he lives in Hamburg, working for a struggling surveillance firm and trying to come to terms with his tormented past. In another part of the world, Con Neimand, an ex-soldier and mercenary, stumbles across evidence of a terrible secret whilst on a security detail in Johannesburg. This knowledge puts his life at risk and he is on the run from an unknown enemy. The two worlds are brought together by the hidden secret as the plot weaves towards it's dangerous and deadly conclusion. An interesting enough plotline, but I found the changing between characters and settings made it quite complicated and required some thinking and all my concentration. I found that I enjoyed the Con Neimand segments as these were action-packed and seem to carry the story forward. Alternatively the John Anselm segments I found to be slow and laborious. As he wallowed in self-pity, I found the story seemed to flounder. In fact, I was quite glad once the plot tied together, became less fragmented and the book became more even paced. Overall a complicated and busy international thriller along the lines of LeCarre or Deighton. A thinking person's thriller. Not suitable unless you can give it your full attention, and I recommend reading it in a couple of sittings so as not to lose track of the plot or characters.

Beastly is a modern/updated retelling of the classic fairy tale - Beauty and the Beast. The book begins with an intro into the life of Kyle. He's got it all, good looks, money, popular.... etc and knows it. He's extremely superficial in everything he says or does making him a bully and jerk to say the least. He crosses a witch who curses him and turns him into a beast to teach him a lesson about life... and can only be broken with a kiss from his true love within a 2 year time limit, or be cursed to stay the beast forever. It was hard to read at times because both Kyle the jerk and Kyle/Adrian the beast were not likeable in the slightest. I know it's a retelling of a fairy tale and all, so it's bound to be a bit over the top. I get that. It's why I gave it 3 stars and kept reading. I enjoyed the funny internet chats on the message boards to help others out there who are afflicted with problems such as being a beast. Characters such as the little Mermaid, a frog prince, etc. joined in the online chat. Those were the shining point that I looked forward to the most throughout the book. In the end it was entertaining to a point. Not the best but far from the worst. I did see Kyle make some important changes once he got past some things. I just wish we would have seen him change a bit more. I mean 2 years is a long while and we only had a chance to see a little part of it. In the end I still wasn't a fan of Kyle/Adrian, almost, but not quite. I just wish he had been more likeable and believable throughout the book, I think more readers could have and would have been able to relate to him from time to time if we had a chance to hear more of the story. Bumpy read and all… it wasn’t horrible. So if you enjoy the story Beauty and the Beast, then this is a story for you. Will I be checking out the movie that's being made about this book? At some point, I think so. For more info and reviews please visit my Book Review Blog here - A Life Bound By Books

I loved these books. Don't laugh, I really did. And why not? It's got suspense, mystery, not a little romance, and twists and turns that keep you guessing. (Okay, I'm talking about the whole series here). Many couldn't get past Twilight to read the following novels, which is a shame, because the story in general drastically improves. I can understand why some would not like this book, as I've been reading quite a few reviews that state so. However, it seems to me that most of those who dislike it do so because either it's 1. popular, 2. anti-feminist, 3. not a good portrayal of vampires, or 4. annoyingly sappy and plotless. As for not liking it because everyone else does, you have some major issues that require the need to rebel. Come up with a real reason. Hmmm.. What is the big deal with female power? I am all about being an independent and educated woman, but why is it wrong for a woman to actually want to be with a man above anything else? It's a choice and not one to be judged. Men are allowed that choice, and when they make it in novels, it's romantic, not pathetic. Adding anti-feminist as a descriptive term for this novel is really just depriving women of another choice... Tsk, tsk... Okay, on to the next. Fictional characters can be described in any way the author chooses. So what if Stephenie felt the urge to change how vampires have always been viewed? So what if they sparkle? That's her take on them, and if you want bloodthirsty, evil vampires who stealthily evaporate every human's life-force, don't read a young adult romance novel. Seriously? As for sappiness and lack of plot, I will admit that Stephenie got a little carried away with descriptions, especially when it came to Edward. Small flaw. Lack of plot? Not sure that's entirely true. I've read that some think the plot took way too long to present itself, however, I think the first of the four in the series is meant to establish Edward and Bella's relationship. He struggles with right and wrong while she frustratingly tries to uncover who he really is. All four books are one huge story, not each one a tale in and of itself. Look at the big picture people.
